A valuable bonus point for the ABs ... they really didn’t deserve anything from this match though.
Congrats Wallabies. Rennie safe for another week.

Congrats Wallabies. A truely shit performance from this AB team against a very average Wallabies outfit. Some players in Black have permanently played themselves out of the first XV line up in the future

Re: Wallabies v All-Blacks - Bledisloe II - Official Match Thread
ABs got 15 minute roll on otherwise it was a even match but that’s Test match footie. I’ve seen enough of this Wallabies to say an away win for the ABs will not come easy. Esp impressed with the new blood in the ABs and bodes well for. Squad with depth in the next era ahead. Today our defence really...

Re: Bled I - All Blacks v. Wallabies OFFICIAL match thread
Despite the Ioane cock up the ABs has their chances to win that game. Would be unfair to point the finger at Reiko and not at McKenzire also for gifting the Wobs their 2nd try. A good blowout for both teams ... the ABs will be really fires up in Auckland now ... can this Wobs outfit back up after fa...

Expect the All Blacks to lock up the Bledisloe at home and then send a squad of fringe players to Australia with maximum team rotationfor the Championship. It is of little significance and 10 weeks away is a massive commitment.

They have had 319,000 cases and 41,300 deaths. They have not been keeping track of their recovered cases which is appalling. So assuming on av...

It was hugely comprehensive display of rugby played by any team that I have seen in recent years, but not by the team I was expecting. A great game now that I can put my own prejudice aside.
